In time for Halloween, Presley will offer an original and complete vampire-killing kit that includes a flintlock pistol. There is also an outstanding automaton of a girl.

Additional collector’s items in the auction lineup are badges of honor from various countries and Vatican City. Many are of sterling silver and enamel. Asian items include a large collection of celadon jade and other exceptional pieces.

There are many lots of fine jewelry and watches. Highlighting the category is a fine 18K Vacheron Constantin pocket watch, which has a $2,500-$3,000 estimate.

Western Americana will be led by an early cabinet card portrait of Apache tribal chief Mangas Coloradas (c. 1793-Jan. 18, 1863) by photographer A. Frank Randall. The image is in very good condition and has an $800-$1,200 estimate.

Many items are entered in the sale with no minimums or reserves. If there is a reserve, it will be the starting bid, said Presley.
